Abstract: IPCavelength monitor is provided based on the transmission response of an optical filter (50). The monitor (52a, 52b) provides feedback to the laser (10) enabling it to lock to any given wavelength within its tuning range. The invention is also a process for integrating the wavelength monitor directly on chip with a variety of tunable semiconductor lasers. The invention also comprises a method for controlling the wavelength of a tunable laser by using a wavelength monitor to measure the output light and provide feedback to a control system (62). The laser and wavelength monitors are integrated together on a single indium phosphide chip. The wavelength monitor comprises a filter (50) with a wavelength dependent transmission function and a pair of detectors (52a, 52b). One detector (52a) is illuminated with light that has passed through the filter and the other provides a reference to measure the input intensity. Taking the ratio of the filtered light level to the unfiltered light provides a wavelength dependent signal. The filter (50) is designed such that the transmission function is monotonic and varies from a minimum at one extent of the laser's tuning range to a maximum at the other extent.

Abstract: A magnetoelastic torque sensor for providing an output signal indicative of the torque transmitted between radially separated locations of a disk-shaped member includes a magnetoelastically active, ferromagnetic, magnetostrictive region which is magnetically polarized in a single circumferential direction and possesses sufficient magnetic anisotropy to return the magnetization in the region, following the application of torque to the member, to the single circumferential direction when the applied force is reduced to zero. First and second torque transmitting elements are directly attached to or form a part of the member at its central axis of rotation and its periphery in such a manner that torque is proportionally transmitted between the member and the transmitting elements. Magnetic field sensor means are mounted proximate to the member to sense the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the member in response to the torque which is radially transmitted through the member between the first and second transmitting elements. The member is preferably formed of a polycrystalline material wherein at least 50% of the distribution of local magnetizations lie within a 90° quadrant symmetrically disposed around the single circular direction and has a coercivity sufficiently high that the field arising from the member does not magnetize proximate regions of the member to give rise to parasitic magnetic fields which are of sufficient strength to destroy the usefulness, for force sensing purposes, of the net magnetic field seen by the magnetic field sensor means.

Abstract: A rocket engine comprises first and second combustion chambers with respective combustion chamber liners bounding respective annular passages, wherein the first combustion chamber discharges into the second, and the respective annular passages are in fluid communication with one another. A portion of the effluent from the first combustion chamber flows from the first combustion chamber to the second combustion chamber through the respective annular passages via orifices in the respective combustion chamber liners, so as to provide for effusion cooling of a surface of the second combustion chamber. The first combustion chamber preferably operates fuel rich, reducing the temperature of the effusion cooling gases, which may be further cooled by a portion of unburned fuel. A flow restriction such as a turbine between the first and second combustion chambers provides a pressure differential therebetween that induces flow of effusion cooling gases.

Abstract: A method for controlling the gas flow within a digital mass flow controller. The method calculates a digitally enhanced flow rate signal that more accurately represents an actual flow rate through the digital mass flow controller. The digitally enhanced flow rate is calculated using a sensed flow rate signal output from a flow sensor, a scaled first derivative of the sensed flow rate signal, and a scaled, filtered second derivative of the sensed flow rate signal. A set-point signal is compared to the digitally enhanced flow rate signal to generate a digital error signal. The digital error signal is provided to a digitally realized PI (proportional integral) controller. The PI controller generates a digital control signal which is used to control a valve in the digital mass flow controller.
